3.1 Bean Media Group shall place the Advertisements in the Publications, and the Advertiser shall pay Bean Media Group the Fee. 3.2 The Advertiser must pay the Fee within fourteen (14) days from the Invoice Date or in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. If the Advertiser does not make payment in full within this time period, any part of the Fee not paid will increase at a rate of 0.07% per day as interest until such time as the Fee (as increased by virtue of the operation of this term), has been paid to Bean Media Group in full.

4. Provision of Credit
4.1 In the event that Bean Media Group extends credit to the Advertiser, the Advertiser: (a) acknowledges that the Advertisements are sought for the purposes of business, not private or domestic use, and that Bean Media Group relies upon this representation in making the determination to publish the Advertisements on credit; (b) guarantees that the Advertiser will pay all amounts owing within 14 days of the Invoice Date. Bean Media Group reserves the right to invoice the Advertiser for all fees and costs incurred by Bean Media Group in connection with debt recovery in accordance with clause 3.4.

If the Advertiser: (a) provides such written notice, the Advertiser agrees that Bean Media Group’s decision in respect of that claim shall be final and bind the parties; (b) fails to provide written notice within seven (7) days of the Publication Date, the Advertiser agrees that, subject to any guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (or, where the Supply is to an Advertiser in New Zealand subject to the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ) or the Fair Trading Act 1986 (NZ)), it will have waived all rights to make a credit claim against Bean Media Group in respect of the Publication and must pay the Fee in full in accordance with the Invoice and these Terms. 4.3 By signing the Agreement, the Advertiser authorises Bean Media Group and any employee or agent of Bean Media Group to obtain information pursuant to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (where the Supply is to an Advertiser in Australia) or pursuant to the Privacy Act 1993 (NZ) (where the Supply is to an Advertiser in New Zealand), as either Act is amended from time to time, and to make whatever other inquiries and obtain such other information that Bean Media Group deems reasonably necessary in the circumstances to determine the acceptability and continued acceptability of the Advertiser for receiving credit facilities. The Advertiser agrees to sign, execute and do all deeds, acts, documents and things as may reasonably be required in order for Bean Media Group, its employees or agents to obtain information pursuant to either of the above Acts. Bean Media Group agrees that any information obtained pursuant to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Privacy Act 1993 (NZ), as the case may be, will be collected, held and disclosed only in accordance with that Act. 4.4 Bean Media Group may in its absolute discretion, terminate the Agreement at any time if it is of the opinion that the Advertiser is a credit risk. If Bean Media Group terminates the Agreement under this clause 4.4, termination will not affect any obligations of the parties that survive termination, either express or implied.
5. Content and Control
5.1 Bean Media Group accepts no responsibility for any artwork or material provided to Bean Media Group by the Advertiser (or on its behalf). Artwork or other material is provided to Bean Media Group at the Advertiser’s risk and Bean Media Group will not be held responsible for any legal issues arising from any artwork or material provided by the Advertiser. If artwork or advertising material is provided after any artwork due date as provided for in the Agreement or Rate Card, Bean Media Group cannot guarantee that the material will be included. 5.2 In the event that the deadline for submission is not explicitly stated on the Agreement or Rate Card, it is the Advertiser’s responsibility to confirm with Bean Media Group the deadline for submission of the artwork or advertising material. If the artwork or advertising material is not furnished to Bean Media Group by the deadline, Bean Media Group may, without notice to the Advertiser, either: (a) substitute alternate material that Bean Media Group holds for the Advertiser; or (b) delete the space and charge the Advertiser for the full amount of the Fee (less any payments previously made by the Advertiser in respect of the space) for the space booked. 5.3 Bean Media Group retains full editorial control of the Publication and may at any time in its absolute discretion alter the name, size and layout (but not the subject matter) of a Publication in which an Advertiser has placed an Advertisement without notice or incurring any liability whatsoever to the Advertiser. Should any changes be made by Bean Media Group this will not constitute grounds for cancellation of the Agreement by the Advertiser, nor will it give rise to any liability in respect of Bean Media Group for any loss or damage, or any claim whatsoever as a consequence of such changes. Bean Media Group is not responsible for editorial content supplied by the Advertiser (or on its behalf) or by third parties. The Advertiser agrees to pay the Fee regardless of any specific editorial content published in any editorial feature. 5.4 Bean Media Group may in its absolute discretion, reject or withdraw from publication any Advertisement it considers unsuitable for publication for any reason without incurring any penalty or liability. If an Advertisement is rejected or withdrawn under this clause 5.4, the Advertiser remains liable for the Fee. Bean Media Group reserves the right to alter the content of an Advertisement for any reason and the Advertiser agrees that it remains liable for the Fee. Bean Media Group reserves the right to change any Advertisement that it deems unsuitable for publication and the Advertiser remains liable for the Fee. If Bean Media changes an Advertisement supplied by the Advertiser, the Advertiser will receive a proof of the revised advertisement by email from Bean Media prior to publication. 5.5 The positioning of Advertisements will be at the sole discretion of Bean Media Group unless alternative arrangements have been made in writing between the parties, including the provision or any loading paid by the Advertiser to Bean Media Group. The content and control of ‘pull quotes’ that are booked to appear within editorial features are placed at the sole discretion of Bean Media Group and must be no more than 40 words maximum. 5.6 Booking of advertising space is for the actual advertising space set out in the Agreement and does not include any Advertisement Design Services. Advertisement Design Services are provided for an additional fee, being identified on an invoice as the Production Charge. All images, logos and other content provided by the Advertiser to Bean Media Group must be supplied in a digital-ready state. Any third party costs incurred by Bean Media Group will be invoiced to the Advertiser in addition to the Production Charge. 5.7 The Advertiser must not on-sell, assign, transfer or otherwise grant the use of advertising space booked or purchased by the Advertiser from Bean Media Group to any third party without the prior written consent of Bean Media Group. Such consent may be withheld by Bean Media Group in its absolute discretion. 5.8 If Bean Media Group submits editorial content to Google and Yahoo news, it takes no responsibility for whether that content will be used by Google or Yahoo news. Regardless of whether Google or Yahoo news elect to use such editorial content, the Advertisers agrees to pay Bean Media Group the Fee in full as set out in the invoice from Bean Media. Bean Media Group cannot guarantee or quote specific readership figures. 5.9 If the Advertiser commits a breach of clause 5.6, Bean Media Group may refuse to include any and all Advertisements placed in a Publication by that Advertiser pursuant to these Terms, but the Advertiser shall remain liable for the full amount of the Fee. 5.10 The CEO Magazine retains full editorial control of the Publications and may at any time in its absolute discretion alter the name, size and layout of a Publication in which an Advertiser has placed an Advertisement without notice or incurring any liability whatsoever to the Advertiser. Should any changes be made by The CEO Magazine this will not constitute grounds for cancellation of the Agreement by the Advertiser nor will it give rise to any liability in respect of The CEO Magazine for any loss or damage or any claim whatsoever as a consequence of such changes. The CEO Magazine is not responsible for editorial content supplied by the Advertiser (or on its behalf) or by third parties. The Advertiser is liable to pay the Fee regardless of any specific editorial content published in any editorial feature. Advertisements booked to appear within and/or supporting company/corporate editorial features will be published and full outstanding fees as per the agreed confirmation of order will be due as per the agreed terms and conditions regardless of whether a specific CEO, company executive, or individual from the company appears, or gives comments within, the company/corporate editorial feature. The subject will remain the company in question as specified in the ‘Description’ and ‘Section’ on the confirmation form. The Advertiser is liable for full payment regardless of the content of the company/corporate editorial feature which remains at the sole discretion of the Publisher (Bean Media Group Pty Ltd).
